Drury Walker- Back to Basics
====GCPD Interview Room====
Guard- Walker, your lawyer's here.
Drury- My-? What?
Spencer- Mr Walker, Kate Spencer, JLA liaison.
Drury- Is that a law firm or-?
Spencer- No, no, *the* JLA.
Drury- Oh. But you are a lawyer, right?
Spencer- Yes. I am a lawyer.
Drury- That's good.
Spencer- Yeah, isn't it just? Now, Batman sent me as soon as he heard about your little incident. Read this.
Drury- Well nice to see he cares, what's-?
Spencer- Your alibi.
Drury- "I went round Ms Pike's house for some late night mimosas...?" I don't really think this is going to work...
Spencer- What's the issue?
Drury- For starters, I don't drink mismosas.
Spencer- That is a snag. What do you drink
Drury- Ir'n Bru, lemon tea and there's this strawberry mocktail I had in a little café in Star City
Spencer- A mocktail?
Drury- Non-alcoholic. Like a strawberry lemonade. Really nice.
Spencer-... Isn't alcohol all the fun?
"Yes but the issue is that I am not known for obeying the law in a state of inebriation."
"No, yeah, I've got public urination down here. Not a big deal."
"No, no. I'm talking about the guy I hit drunk driving."
"Ah. I'd maybe not say that in front of the judge. In fact, don't say that in front of anyone."
"We can strike it from the record though, right?"
"I'd rather it never be on the record. Does that work for you?"
"M'yeah."
"Good."
...
"Not that it should matter, but who did you kill?"
"The victim's husband."
...
Drury- Look, I'm sure you're a lovely lady but I can't read this.
Spencer- Why? Don't tell me you're illiterate too?
Drury- Eh? No. But what's done is done and I'm not going to lie in court. I'm going to tell them exactly how it is.
Spencer- Oh. In that case, you better catch me up.
====Day One====
Judge- State your name for the record.
Chancer- Montgomery Sharpe.
Judge- And your relationship to Mr Walker?
Chancer- Former employee
Judge- Your file says you were in a coma for... ten years?
Chancer- That's right your honour.
Judge- It also says you killed three people. And a dog.
Chancer- Oh, nah. Blake killed the dog.
...
Spencer- You couldn't find any better character witnesses? Ones that aren't murderers?
Drury- *Whispers*
Spencer- How about any that aren't felons?
...
Drury- I got nothing.
Spencer- You are not making this easy on yourself
Drury- It's not my fault...
Spencer- You could at least find some different social circles...
Drury- Hey, I get out of this, maybe I will
Chancer- Hey! Is this gin?
Judge- No, that's water. Why would we hand out gin in a courthouse?
Chancer- I dunno, they did it in Santa Prisca...
====Day Two====
Clarke- I hold in my hand, the weapon used to kill Carmen Pike and lo and behold- it has Mr Walker's fingerprints on it! What do you have to say for yourself Mr Walker?
Drury- Well, of course it has my fingerprints on it- it's my gun, that said, I didn't use it to kill Ms Pike.
Clarke- If not you, then who?
Drury- My brother, Norbert Walker.
Clarke- Are you... Are you seriously trying to use the twin brother excuse?
Drury- No, he's not my twin brother. He's two years older than me.
Clarke- That makes all the difference... Moving on... This next item, security footage from May 6th, the early days of Mr Walker's administration and, would you look at that, there he is, kicking James Garth out of a window. Very nice footwork Mr Mayor!
Spencer- Objection!
Judge- Denied.
====Day Three====
Clarke- This passage, from Mr Billings' upcoming book details several unprosecuted crimes that our dear mayor has committed. May I?
Judge- You may.
Clarke- "Walker, with the help of Garfield Lynns abducted Harvey Dent from the Wayne Courthouse". That's this courthouse by the way. "That was the last time anyone saw Dent before he became Two-Face- Roman Sionis"
Spencer- Objection! I have to question the validity of Mr Sionis' statement. Or is he not going out at nights dressed in a black mask?
Clarke- Please, I hardly think Roman Sionis is Batman, Ms Spencer...
Spencer- That's... not what I meant at all.
Clarke- Your honour, may I continue?
Judge- You may.
Clarke- Thank you. Here's a fun one "Drury Walker murdered my father. All that remains of him is his severed, decomposed face- Bridget Pike". I wonder perhaps, what Ms Pike thinks of this, of him. The man who orphaned her?
Drury- ...Stop it.
Clarke- What's wrong? Have you finally realised that your little romps have consequences?
Spencer- Objection! Mr Clarke is deliberately trying to antagonise my client!
Judge- Denied!
Clarke- Can't handle the pressure Mr Mayor? Maybe you should have considered that before murdering Ted Carson, James Garth and Carmen Pike!
Drury- ...Go fuck yourself.
Clarke- I think I have what I need. No more questions your honour.
~-~
Drury- That did not go well.
Spencer- No.
...
Drury- I probably shouldn't have sworn.
Spencer- Nope.
...
Drury- What's done is done, you know?
Spencer- Yeah
...
Spencer- You're remarkably calm about this.
Drury- Lady, I was in and out of Arkham for five years. I can do it again.
Spencer- That's if they send you to Arkham.
Drury- Yeah. But why wouldn't they?
====Day Five====
*Drury is messing with the settings on his chair*
Judge- Are we quite settled Mr Walker?
Drury- The chair's a little low. Otherwise, right as rain.
*He throws a wink at Miranda and she returns a weak smile*
Judge- In that case... Has our jury made their decision?
Speaker- Yes your honour. We, the Jury, have voted... Guilty.
*Drury's chair collapses*
Judge- Quite right, too. Drury Walker, for your horrible crimes, for your utter disregard for the law and for the boundaries of others, I sentence you to life in Blackgate Penitentiary.
Drury- Oh no.
Spencer- Oh no...
Miranda- Oh no!
Chuck- Hell yeah! ... I mean no. That sucks.
*BANG* *BANG*
-----------
Guard- You have two minutes.
Gaige- We'll have five asshole. Minimum.
Kitten- Oh daddy!
*The family embrace Drury*
Drury- *Oof* Hi guys.
Miranda- Drury, god... it's not fair!
Drury- No. It is.
...
Gaige- No, it isn't.
Drury- Yes, it is. I didn't kill Pike sure, but I did kill Carson-
Miranda- That was an accident!
Drury- And I did kill Garth.
Miranda- You were under a lot of stress...
Drury- Miranda, sweetheart. Look at me- I need this, I need to repent.
Miranda- You repented by stopping Joker! And Signal Man and Scarecrow-
Drury- No. That was Lester.
*He wipes a tear from her cheek*
Drury- You'll see, they'll find Norbert some day and there will be justice. But for now, stay strong.
Guard- Time's up. Walker!
Drury-...Coming.
Axel- That's bull!
Miranda- In what world is that two minutes?! Drury! Drury, I love you!
Drury- I love you too, sweetie. I love all of you.
*Drury is taken to the prisoner transfer vehicle and the doors close behind him*
Driver- Hope you got a good look lads. That's the last blue sky you'll be seeing for a long time.
